Process Integration of Scale and POS
Retail-Concept
A perfect Interoperation of Scale and POS-System
Integrated processes, employee protection and sustainability - the newly designed fresh produce area by AWEK will revolutionize the workflow in your store. With the integrated process of POS and scale the days of printed thermal paper are numbered. The new process does away with limits. Instead of printing receipts at the deli counter, the customer receives a bag marked with an individual barcode. This code is scanned at the scale and POS, thus, preserving the environment and protecting your employees and customers alike from health hazardous chemicals in thermal paper.
Regardless whether the chemical Bisphenol A contained in the thermal paper is hazardous or harmless, with the process integration of scale and POS, you can dispense with thermal paper receipts in the fresh produce department completely. At the fresh food counter the process of weighing and pocketing the food is completed as usual. However, the shop assistant at the fresh food counter will no longer attach a receipt to the bag with the customers purchase. Instead, the staff uses a bag with an individual barcode, which is linked with the complete data of the receipt. In this case, neither your employees nor the customers come in contact with the supposedly harmful substances.
After completing the purchase at the fresh food counter, the customer can easily pay for the goods at the checkout. The POS-system recognizes the content of the bag automatically when scanning the barcode. The POS-system retrieves the receipt with the particular items via the barcode on the bag and implements the payment process as usual.
The new process integration of scale and POS represents a ground-breaking invention offering retailers manifold advantages. It is consistently eco friendly as well as of great benefit to a clear-cut image.
